I had to replace the CPU cooling fan mount and decided to clean up the inside of my pc with a vacuum. Now it boots to display "GRUB _" instead of Windows 7 and goes no further. I played with the boot sequence and was able to launch W7 once, but it took nearly an hour to fully boot. I also removed the HD and checked it in another machine, cleared the CMOS x2, and check all connections x2. I'm worried that I broke something. But from what I can gather about GRUB, this has something to do with duo boot and Linux or Ubuntu. I've never had either OS, so I'm really confused. Any advice is greatly appreciated. ------------- You've been Kwagulated! |

Make sure you don't have any USB drives or Optical disks in the system. It sounds like your system is trying to boot off something other than the HDD/SSD. -------------

I unplugged my KVM and USB hub, but no change. Thanks for the reply, though. That gives me some assurance that I didn't damage anything. I'll keep working on the assumption that this is the issue. ------------- You've been Kwagulated! |
